C6 Window Tinting
The manual states if you tint your windows the Nav system may not work. Has anyone had any problems from tinting your windows?

Some have had problems with metallic tint. Using ceramic tint cured it.

I live in Hell (Arizona) and this is the first car I've owned in recent memory that I haven't had tinted at the time of purchase.
I kind of like the non-tinted look. I pretend that all of the people staring at my car are actually staring at me.
Married, fat and getting fatter, with kids. It works for me.

This is the first one that I did not tint either, got tired of the "hazy" look out of the windows...
Maybe it is age...

There are three kinds of tint that I know of, metal tint, non metal regular dyed film, and ceramic. If you have a V1 as I do, the V1 manual states not tint the windows with metal tint as it will cause the rear sensor to be dimished. Tints have come a long way in the past few years, the good tints now are not hazy at all. I am having mine done next week in 35% all the way around in a non metal tint.
